Daylight saving time changes have a knack for wrecking people’s sleep schedules, but they don’t have to, according to the Farmers’ Almanac.
The annual tradition this year is set to start at 2 a.m. on Sunday, requiring all Americans to set their clocks forward one hour. Daylight saving time will end at 2 a.m. on Nov. 5 this year.
The practice of moving clocks ahead or back one hour each year has deprived many Americans of sleep for decades — so much that some state and federal lawmakers have tried to stop it. So far, their efforts have not been exactly fruitful.
